Love that detail.

Killer inlay! Skills I have yet to acquire. Here is one I just finished for my granddaughter. Zebra top over basswood. The block where I inlayed her name, Lucia, is not as dark as the image appears.

Here's a few I built many years ago. The bass has a Peavey fretless neck, the other two bodies are sporting a Carvin neck. I still have the bodies but sold the necks a long time ago. The design is my own and the only problem being I couldn't find a case to fit them. The pics are bad, the necks are actually straight and they were very playable.
Now I play a Fender USA Jazz and a Fender Foto-Flame (Jap) Tele. Building my own was very satisfying but I didn't have the patience to make them as good as they could be.

Silvertone Thin Twin
Three years ago, at Christmas my brother gave me a guitar that was made the year I was born. Now I've got a twin. Thing sounds amazing with a dirt box and slide.

HEEbgb - your grouping looks like my dream guitar collection - I got weak in the knees when I saw the pic
If you had a '72 Thinline in the group, I probably would have passed out

Ken,
The blue one is a 68' Thinline partscaster I built last year. Is that close enough or do you need the wide range Humbuckers? Now you have me thinking about another build dammit!

Well, this is just my opinion, but there's something special about those pickups - most HBs are way too hot, and sometimes muddy-sounding to me.
...and I've never felt the love for P-90's, even though my first guitar was a Melody Maker with one P-90 in the bridge position, and the new (at that time) Badass wraparound bridge.
That guitar felt so good in my hands, but was too weak on stage without a Tube Screamer. And it wouldn't do the Fender "quack" that sounds so good on blues tunes.
I played a Thinline through a Princeton Reverb amp for about an hour, and I've wanted one ever since. Sounded best to me in the bridge position - not nearly as ice-picky as most bridge HBs but full and clear. And if you want the qwack, go to the both-pickups position.
In conclusion, I think a warm clean HB had sex with a single-coil, and the Thinline pickups (along with their ugly step-sister, the P-90s) were born
On thing I'd like to try on a dual-pickup guitar with one volume control is to put a resistor in series with each pickup (one at a time), and tweak to get a better mix between the pickups. This simulates a setup on a LP where the output is mixed, but one volume is higher than the other.
p.s. - your Lake Placid Blue Tele looks wonderful

Haha thank you but it is not LPB. It is Blue Ice Metallic. LPB is darker
